Aha! So that means Kingz doesn't get your a'lovin and I do! Woohoo! This is the happiest day of my life! --Erwin

Mixnmojo, #monkey-island, Adventure Gamers, #adventuregamers. --Erwin

Ha ha ha! --Erwin

I went to see it, and the special effects were fantastic. Everything else was so-so. Let me put it this way; It didn't bore me for a second. --Erwin

Okay, okay... A pot of silver would be just as fine. --Erwin

Some of the textures are needlessly blurry, even for their time. But I agree, though; level design's fantastic. --Erwin

Too bad there's no pot of gold involved. --Erwin

There's not much else to say about Midgetgolf because it's just how we call it. But there's another thing every (real) Dutchman has visited in his life: A Dutch midget city! May I present to you: Madurodam: --Erwin

There's an Irish pub at the corner of the street, which I like to visit every now and then. Never heard of this Irish tradition, but I'll make sure to look for babies there in the future. --Erwin

[insert lame polar bear joke here] --Erwin

It's a Dutch tradition to complain about everything. Not that I'm complaining about it. --Erwin

Talking about curves of danger... The title reminds me of my ex-girlfriend. --Erwin

Hmm, can't say anything about WME, but SLUDGE (which I use) works very much like a combination of PHP, C and JavaScript. So I'd understand when someone would ask for experience in one of these languages. --Erwin

Bucky bottle? --Erwin

And your name is Maximar, right? --Erwin

Hey, and I thought you were AGAST's bitch --Erwin

Flimsy?! Man, that thing weighs more than I do! Seriously, though: It's quite a sturdy joystick. Real Logitec quality. Better than that Sidewinder crap that Microsoft made. --Erwin

I was SO addicted to that game. I liked it even better than Command and Conquerer. And those cut-scene movies were hilarious! --Erwin

You stink and I hope you'll never make it to be a game designer. --Erwin

I broke one joystick which must've been somewhere in 1997. I remember it like it was 7 years ago: I was playing Wing Commander 4, got very angry at a particular enemy fighter that was tailing me for several seconds, and in an attempt to make a false move to get behind him I broke my joystick. I guess I just jammed it too hard to the right. It was a Logitech Wingman Classic and I was very disappointed when I couldn't fly my fighter home to the carrier that day. Made me replay that tiresome mission all over again. Luckily, the joystick wasn't even 2 months old so I got a new one from Logitech at no charge. --Erwin

Ron Gilbert! I haven't heard his name yet so I might as well say this: Monkey Island 3 and 4 suck because it wasn't made by Ron Gilbert. There ya go. --Erwin

I won't be walking outside during a thunderstorm from now on, that's for sure. --Erwin

Or you could drive past one and honk, resulting in the cop flying off a hysterical horse and being trampled to death. :idea: You could also run over the horse with your car and deliver it to the slaughterhouse for extra cash. :idea: Or maybe a mission in which you need to cut it's head off, placing it into the bed of some guy as a warning, Godfather style. :idea: You could even force a whore to have sex with it. --Erwin

Well, these are sure convincing arguments to prove it's a hoax. Not that I don't believe it's true yet, though. I just don't rule anything out for the time being. --Erwin

If you take away the story in HL, you take away the identity of the protagonist, Gordon Freeman. You take away the reason for being at the location where these hostile aliens appear, the reason why they appear and why you're fighting fellow humans (the soldiers). In other words; you'd be playing another Quake clone. Half-Life was a very original game, which got loads of critical acclaim, mostly for the story behind the action and the scripted movie sequences. Things that the FPS genre wasn't very familiar with. Would I still enjoy HL without it's story? Probably. But I don't think it would have gotten the same level of praise and recognition as it has today. Just like I said, it would be another Quake clone with some technical advancements in A.I and graphics. --Erwin
